Ginjah lifts spirits with God Is Good on Kiss Of Judas Riddim

Ginjah is bringing a steady, upliftive pulse to the Kiss Of Judas Riddim with God Is Good, a track that lands squarely on the side of faith, perseverance and daily survival. On a project already pushing hard across reggae circles, the song gives listeners something direct to hold on to: a reminder that pressure does not erase purpose.

The riddim was released on May 8, 2026 through Billboard King Records and runs 22 tracks deep, with Etana and Rick Ross leading the set on the title cut, Kiss Of Judas. Ginjah’s God Is Good sits at track 07, alongside a wide cast that includes Beenie Man, Elephant Man, I-Octane, Turbulence, Honorebel, Prodigal Son, Zed Regal, Delly Ranx, Jay A, Ghandi and Slimey Mojo. The concept leans into betrayal, loyalty, survival, envy and spiritual warfare, and Kemar McGregor built it to show that Jamaican music can still travel internationally without leaning on lewdness or shock tactics.

For Ginjah, the song was not just another studio pass. He said he first received the riddim late last year, then came back to it in March while clearing messages from his phone and read the lyrics again with fresh ears. That second look made the tune click. He has said the words spoke directly to his own life, which pushed him to voice the track with his own style and emotion. He and McGregor have worked together for more than 20 years, and that long history shows in the way God Is Good feels less like a one-off placement and more like part of a trusted creative line.

The response has matched the message. Ginjah said the most meaningful reactions came from listeners who felt strengthened or inspired by the song, which is exactly the kind of emotional utility this release is built for. The wider project has also moved fast, reaching number one on the iTunes Reggae Albums chart and the all-genre chart on iTunes, while reportedly crossing 500,000 Spotify streams within days of release. That kind of traction helps explain why a conscious cut like God Is Good can cut through so quickly.

It also fits the run Ginjah has been on. His Lay On My Pillow held the number one spot on the Island Gold Radio Top 10 Reggae Chart in West Palm Beach for six straight weeks, and earlier coverage identified him as Valentine Nakrumah Fraser, the Hanover-born singer who came through Beres Hammond’s Harmony House camp. On this riddim, he sounds like a man who knows exactly where reggae’s strength lives, right in the place where struggle meets hope.
